What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT) is an oxygen therapy. Sessions can vary in length, and happen inside an oxygen-rich, pressurized chamber. Infusing the body with 95% medical grade oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure promotes healing and delivers benefits that breathing supplemental oxygen alone can’t achieve.
mHBOT dramatically increases the oxygen in blood plasma in the brain, spine, and joint fluid. It has also been shown to significantly increase the ability of cells to produce energy. Sessions can vary in length and it is safe to use electronics in the tank.
Session Frequency
Multiple sessions are most effective. Session amount varies depending on the severity of the patients condition. Patients with acute symptoms may only require 1-3 sessions to be most effective. The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of each patient’s condition.
How It Works
While a patient is in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber breathing supplemental oxygen under increased pressure, oxygen saturates their red blood cells. The additional pressure causes oxygen molecules to become directly infused into bodily fluids—including plasma, lymph, spinal fluid and interstitial spaces and tissues.
Why it Works
Oxygen is involved in 5,769 known cellular processes. Many diseases thrive in a low oxygen environment. Lack of oxygen and blood flow to cells plus inflammation causes many things to happen, including:
- Reduced ability to absorb nutrients
- Reduced ability to remove cellular toxins
- Increased oxidative stress (aging)
This makes it harder for cells to produce the energy needed to repair, regenerate and keep the body healthy and functioning properly. mHBOT treats common denominators shared by many diseases. These denominators include low oxygen levels, reduced blood flow, and inflammation. It works because a patient’s lungs can gather more oxygen than is possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Their blood carries oxygen throughout their body. This has a positive impact on many chronic illnesses.
mHBOT Pressure
Just like any nutrient, there are certain dosages of hyperbaric oxygen that are appropriate as treatment for certain conditions. There are 3 ways that hyperbaric oxygen dosages can be adjusted:
- Degree of pressure used
- Amount of oxygen given
- Duration of treatment, including length of session under pressure, number, and frequency of treatments
The degree of pressure can vary for “mild hyperbaric” (mHBOT) –1.4 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA).

What Our Clients Have To Say
Caring and Knowledgeable Staff
My experience at the Bridgeway Institute was one of a healing nature that was long overdue. I am very relieved to have finally found a therapeutic process after exploring numerous other outlets. The clinical director, Jeanne, as well as the entire staff, were very welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable; they treat each case on a personal level. It was a refreshing change from the intensity that the 12-step program can possibly ignite.
This is a clinic that delivers on all levels.
I received NAD/UVlrx treatment. The treatment was effective and the care given was beyond description. I highly recommend.
Bridgeway Saved My Life
I waited a month after my 10 day NAD treatment to write this review. I still feel great, so here’s the bottom line: this treatment and everyone at Bridgeway saved my life. That’s a fact. I had been to more than 20 different traditional rehabs and checked into those 20+ more than 30 times total. And at the end of the day, this treatment restored me the point where I have HOPE and ENERGY. I’m not advocating against traditional in-patient rehab, I’m advocating FOR NAD. Do NAD first. It saved my life. Period. And if you can’t get to Bridgeway (which I highly recommend) then find another top-notch facility and do it.
One Of The Best Experiences Ever
Jeanne is so caring and attentive. She provides support in so many ways to include spirituality. She is amazing. The NAD really made a big difference for me. I feel so much better. My cognitive functions have improved and my overall feeling of wellness has improved. Loved it.
