How To Increase My Height?

Is it possible for me to increase my height at 23 years old considering I have had bad posture for years, and recently have fixed some elements of it to grow .5 inches in the past year 1/2. I m still slightly bow legged and have found seemingly safe stretches to improve my leg posture. Will this increase my vertical height?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
hi , You are 23 now with bow legs.
At you age I would not recommend any method to increase your height except Ilizarov Technique which may have a lot of side effects.
Correction of bow legs may not add much to your height . I suggest you discuss this with your orthopedic surgeon .
