How to increase height at or after the age of 17?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no therapy: At age 17, most boys and virtually all girls bone growth plates are closed. Thus growth hormone that may work before the closure of growth plates no longer work. Unfortunately you are stuck with your height.
