What Is The Best Treatment For Chronic Kidney Stones?

what is the best treatment for chronic kidney stones? Calcium Oxilate stones. (Forgive the spelling) I have had them for over 20 years and nothing but lithotripsy has effectively worked. I am careful with my diet, drink plenty of water, but continue to develop and pass stones on a regular basis.
