Although not an expert. Treatment depends on the size and the site of the stones. I assume you must have suffered from symptoms and hence the eventual diagnosos. I suggest you see a Urologist or a nephrologist. Surgery or lithotropy (zap ) is usually straight forward. My understanding is that not all stones respond to zapping. In that case have to be physically (surgery) removed. Occassionally the stones may pass via urine without any treatment, but depends on site and size.
As for alternative therapies. If your wallet is heavy and you don't wish to give to charity then feel free to waste your money and time. However I suggest, other than water, dont take any alternative medicines for even their practitioners have no idea to their safety. Unfortunately ignorance of the safety issue is turned into a virtue of them being safe.
If you are in pain please see a specialist as it would be shame for you to continue to suffer from a very easily treatable condition
