Not likely.: Not likely. All of your bone growth plates and joints are set by the time you're around 19 or 20 and you've grown all you're going to by then. If you were to take some type of growth hormone to cause increased bone growth, your joints would separate and you would be unable to walk. Shoe elevators are your best bet.

Unlikely to happen: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist ; hand can yield a bone maturity.Most men stop at 17. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.No exercises, meds,diets,etc will help you grow after.
