Abstract: A stimulation apparatus using low intensity focused ultrasound, which has a low intensity ultrasound focusing array having a plurality of transducers for outputting low intensity ultrasound beams, and a fixing device to which the low intensity ultrasound focusing array is attached, the fixing device being configured to fix the low intensity ultrasound focusing array to an upper body of a user. The low intensity ultrasound beams outputted from the transducers are focused to at least one focus. The focus is positioned to a spinal cord of the user or nerves around the spinal cord so that low intensity ultrasound stimulation is applied to the spinal cord or nerve cells of the nerves around the spinal cord.
