Hi doctor, my kid is 13 years, attained puberty when she was just 10. Since then her height has stagnated. Recently we took an x ray and we found that her growth plates have almost fused and chances of growing are less. She is currently only 4.9" I would want her to be at least 5 feet doctor. We have started using magnetic belt on her head for activating the pituitary gland. What treatment plan can we follow to keep the bones from fully fusing and to extend her growth phase? Can you provide us with online consultation?

In reality there is no treatment for increasing the height and stopping delaying puberty and your child seems to be low in height as per her standards and you have to accept the realty. By 21 years of age she will gain some more height and be patient.
