A member asked:
Is there anything that permanently lengthens the spine 3 inches? i'm 40. could chiropractor increase height by 3 inches? posture hasn't changed.@ all.

No: That does not happen in real life. Different people can measure a person's spine and come up with mildly different numbers, but the length of adult's spine remains the same... until it decreases as a person becomes elderly.
