Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Height increase is dependent on growth of long bone, which in turn is controlled by Growth Hormone (GH) secreted by pituitary. I am not aware if the branch of medicine mentioned by you has any drugs which do influence on that gland. Usually growing ends of long bones fuse by the end of 19 to 19 years. After that there is no chance of any further increase in the height. For you the only opportunity is to exercise and build muscle mass which will add a few cms in the coming months. Thanks.
