HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If by height increasing shoes, you are referring to tall shoes that may help you appear taller then you can use them once they are comfortable. You should not wear them for prolonged periods in case they cause any long term pain.

You can also try yoga. The exercises and stretching can help to improve posture and also help in the appearance of height increase.

In terms of medications or herbal treatments, at age 22, these cannot be used.
This is because the area of the bone that is involved in adding new bone, epiphyseal plate, would have changed permanently and cannot be stimulated to start adding bone again.

I hope this helps
