A member asked:
If you're suffering from levoscoliosis and lumbar instability and you're 20 - girl, would you still be able to gain height 5inches or more ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth potential: 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. Even with minimization of the curvature, a 5 inch gain would be unlikely.
