Your best reference remains his pediatrician who would be able to plot his annual growth against peers his age. There is high variability in puberty as growth happens in spurts.

I doubt that a minor back injury has anything to do with his growth. If he only grew an inch in the past year he is likely near the end of growing taller. A single x-ray of his wrist/hand can detect open growth centers in his bones. If wide open he can grow taller, if closing he is near the end. If closed he is done. No diet/exercise or meds can change growth after growth centers close.
