WHAT IS NEUROMODULATION
Neuromodulation: Help with neurological conditions
Diseases treated with SOZO therapies
Neuromodulation is a modern, non-invasive therapy. Gentle electrical, magnetic, or mechanical impulses specifically regulate the activity of nerve cells and activate neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize and reconnect itself.
Sozo Brain therapies address conditions where conventional therapies often reach their limits: chronic pain, fatigue (ME/CFS), burnout, dizziness and tremors, depression, ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, or Parkinson's disease. The treatment is drug-free and usually painless.
Imagine it like a radio with poor reception: Neuromodulation adjusts signal strength and frequency until nerve cells can communicate clearly with each other again. Neuromodulation methods (SOZO therapies) can be used to treat many neurological and chronic conditions.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
SOZO Brain Center Fellowship
The INUSpherese® Center Dr. Putz is part of the SOZO Brain Center Fellowship. The SOZO Brain Center is located in Nicosia, Cyprus.
is an international center for non-invasive neuromodulation and trains doctors worldwide in its methods.
Through this strategic partnership, we offer SOZO therapies and methods and are always up-to-date with the latest developments in neuromodulation.

TRAINING WITH THE FOUNDER
Learned from Sir Petros Kattou
Dr. Carmen Putz learned neuromodulation with taVNS, tDCS, and TPS directly from Sir Petros Kattou, the founder of the SOZO Brain Center. Our treatments are based on the SOZO protocols developed there.
"Neuromodulation is like a gentle reset button for an overstimulated nervous system."
Dr. Carmen Putz, environmental physician and general practitioner
DISEASES

Methods in detail
TECHNOLOGY · t DCS
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
A weak direct current selectively stimulates specific brain regions and promotes neuroplasticity. This SOZO therapy alters the excitability of nerve cells, improves blood flow to the treated areas, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. The SOZO method always treats several interconnected brain regions.
The treatment is painless and requires no intervention.
We currently use the devices PlatoCare Headset, also called Neurohelm or Platohelm, Newronika or FLOW.
Especially used in:
TECHNOLOGY · ta VNS
Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) via the ear
Gentle impulses at the ear activate the vagus nerve, the "rest and digest" nerve, which reduces stress and promotes regeneration.
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve and the most important nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system – responsible for relaxation, regeneration and healing.
During taVNS, the branch of the ear is stimulated with gentle electrical impulses. This has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces stress, and brings the body from "survival mode" back into regeneration.
Especially used in:
TECHNOLOGY · TPS
TPS NEUROLITH® – Transcranial pulse stimulation
Focused sound pulses reach deep brain regions.
TPS with the NEUROLITH® system from Storz
Medical uses short, focused sound pulses. These penetrate deep into the brain through the skull and are guided by your MRI data. The pulses improve blood flow, stimulate growth factors, and enhance neuroplasticity. No procedure, no anesthesia – you will only feel a gentle tapping sensation.
TPS is the only CE-marked procedure specifically for Alzheimer's disease. Studies from the Medical University of Vienna show improvements in memory and attention, especially in the early stages.
TPS was developed for Alzheimer's therapy. It is now also used off-label for other diseases.
Especially used in:
Supplementary Therapy · EMTT
EMTT with the Magnetolith®
High-energy magnetic impulses support regeneration, e.g. of nerves, tissue or spine.
Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) uses rapid, high-energy magnetic pulses. These penetrate deep into the tissue, improve cellular energy production, and activate repair and healing processes.
We use EMTT in addition to tDCS, taVNS and TPS – primarily for the regeneration of peripheral nerves and the spine.
Especially used in:

SOZO Brain Devices
We utilize all available SOZO therapy methods for neuromodulation. The devices are individually selected depending on the patient and their symptoms.
We are part of the SOZO Brain Center Fellowship and offer the SOZO program devices for purchase for home neuromodulation:
tDCS: PlatoCare Headset, FLOW, Newronika HDCstim and HDCkit
taVNS: tVNS Device (Vagus nerve stimulation via the ear)
CES and MET: AlphaStim AID, AlphaStim M
Rehabilitation glove
Each device is individually adjusted to your specific needs after a medical examination. Following a training session at the doctor's office, you will use it at home according to your personal treatment plan.
We will determine which device is suitable in each individual case during the initial consultation, which includes neurological testing.
Costs & Procedure of Neuromodulation
TECHNOLOGY · t DCS
The process of neuromodulation
The process begins with an initial consultation and neurological testing. Please bring any existing medical reports with you. Afterwards, we will decide together which method is most suitable and create your individualized treatment plan. This plan will be adjusted as needed throughout the course of treatment.
Neuromodulation devices
Medical practice & home therapy:
After testing, the selected neuromodulation device is individually adjusted for the respective patient with the appropriate values, and the patient takes the device home.
