A member asked:
Can the space between your spinal vertebrae grow? i read that it can grow somehow & make you permanently taller by as much as 2-3 inches.is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: In real life, that does not happen. There might be some internet stories about events like that, but that doesn't happen to normal, real people. To look or seem taller, an adult may improve her posture, clothes, shoes, gracefulness, confidence, etc...
