Hocus Pocus: You are now standing more erect. No-one can make you permanently taller. Nature and time will make you shorter. Yes, lying down will let your discs swell and may make you taller or more correctly longer until you stand up for a while. A chiro trick is to let you lie down while they apply traction. If you lie down long enuf you will measure a tad taller but that will be gone before you reach home.
