How To Grow Taller After Age Of 23 Years?

Hello, I am 23 years old but am only 5 foot 7 barefoot. Everyone else in my family, my brother and cousins are all over 6 feet tall. My father was also over 6 feet tall. I'm wondering if there's something wrong. Should I see a physician? Is there a way to grow taller after 23 years of age?
