Bone age study: After puberty, most men and women do not experience much increase in height. The best way to maximize your height is through balanced nutrition, good posture and exercises that will strengthen your back and core muscles to support your spine. Bone age studies can be performed to determine if your growth plates are fused (growth stops after this occurs) but results are not immediately available.
