A member asked:
Any truth to online claims that those over 35 can still grow 1-3 inches cause spinal chord vertebrates don't fuse?would chiropractic cause that growth
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That does not happen in real life, only in the online world. Spinal vertebrae that are not supposed to fuse need to stay free. Fusion would prevent movement, because there are movable joints between each of the unfused vertebrae.
