Hi,

Our bone growth(length wise) is completed by puberty, and after this, the epiphyses(part of bone where lengthwise growth occur) fuses with rest of the bone. After this happens, it's not possible to increase height by taking supplements or promoting bone growth by other means.

But if scoliosis is significant, its correction can help to gain some height. Kindly see a spine surgeon to see the feasibility. Treatment includes bracing and sometimes surgery depending on severity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
