Hi, i'm 16 and i just wanted to know if there is a way doctors can check if i am still growing. if so what type of doctors do this kind of check?

On your growth chart: The pediatrician looks at a growth chart showing heights at annual check-ups. Most people reach their max. height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase the final height.

Hand X-ray: Hi. Yes, a hand X-ray for bone age will tell if your bone growth plates are still open (probably are for a 16-year old male). In that case, you'd still be growing.

Bone age: An x-ray can be done that of your arm that will give a score called a bone age to tell you at what age level your bones have grown to at this point. Also, the radiologist can look at that xray and see if the growth plates are closed (epiphyseal plates).
