Can acupuncture threapy increase your height?

Heightening...: Unfortunately, it is not possible to get taller unless surgeons cut the bone and lengthen it... Your stance can possible improve through therapy with flexibility and core strentghtening or if low back pain improves and it allows better posture. That makes people see you stand more upright, and -in fact- look taller....

No: Many things are possible through acupuncture - but making you taller is not one of them.
