Brief Answer:
Medical treatments not possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
Human bones get their growing zones fused and calcified by the age of 18 years and do not grow in length after that.
You should know that increasing physical height at 20 years is not possible.
Some unauthorised sources may make fat premises in this regard but are of no benefit rather may harm your health.
Some such treatments are exorbitantly costly also. You have reasonable height and can further increase by use of high heal shoes to improve looks.
There are certain surgical techniques called Ilizarov surgery done by orthopaedic surgeon that can help very desperate people for height.
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.

Brief Answer:
Yoga is also unlikely to help

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back.
Yoga people are well known for sky high promises but I have no personal experience of their efficacy.
As far as modern medicine is concerned, as I have told you there is no reason to spend money on this account.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Unable to increase height

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome back.
Any hope about increase in height at your age will be a false promise.
It's always worth to tell the truth from very beginning rather than when patient has already spent a lot.
Be wise, if there were an option then I would have told you in the first answer itself.
Take care.
