Hello
Fusion of bones take place and completed before 17-19 years of age, so after this age attainment , there is no any chance of enhancement of height by stretching or skipping or by any medicine .
Only an option is that is surgery .
Your height can be increased with the help of BONE GRAFTING .
But being as a physician I never recommend it to my patient .
While there are so many false ads that claim that there is enhancement in the height , but no scientific proof.
good luck.
