I m very short in height and have turned 22 , 2 weeks back.Is there any way to increase height.?

Question

Please tell me if stretching exercises help to grow height at this age as consuming pills is very harmful.I remember a doctor telling me that spinal cord grows till 25 years of age for both men and women .Is it true?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, Hipto is exactly right... more than likely, you won't grow any more than you already have at age 22, and stretching doesn't help you grow (at least not for more than a few minutes). Generally, by the age of 21 or so, the bone plates have fused so you can't make your bones grow any more than they have.

Stretching your joints can help for mobility and flexibility, but it can't increase the distance to make you taller because gravity would push them back together when you stood up.

Pills won't help either because no pill can force you to grow more than your DNA say you will grow. I don't know about the spinal cord, but that's not going to gain enough height to note (maybe possibly an inch, but it's doubtful by this point).

Of course, the only way to physically make yourself taller would be a very expensive, risky, and painful surgery in which they literally cut your leg in half, add some spacers, and let your legs stretch... but that only increases 1-2 inches and is only done in some areas around Asia.

Although the best way I've ever heard it put was that if you want to feel taller, the only one you have to fool is yourself... padded insoles or shoe lifts are actually a really good tool to use to add an inch or two.

Answer 3

shoe lifts

Answer 4

My girlfriend's boss has this problem too and he wears special shoes that make him taller.  I'm not sure exactly what they are called but they do exist.  They are very hard to even notice because someone informed her about them and she never noticed.

Answer 5

Racks used to be popular.

Answer 6

The absolute deadline for a female is 21 and growing up to that age only occurs in very isolated and almost unheard of cases.

As your growth plates have closed nothing can help you gain any height except very expensive and very complex and very dangerous surgery that you are likely to regret if you should have such surgery.

If you want further information on this surgery you can find it in a web search for "leg lengthening surgery".
