Can I increase a permanent height?

Doctor can i ask help?? after every morning you grow a little bit taller because of decompression in the spine. Is it possible that I can make that height permanent when I make my muscles stronger in the spine?

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no. We can't fight gravity.

In terms of the skeletal system, it's not uncommon for people to keep growing until the age of 21-22.

You're young... Give it time.
