About Increase height :-
All the other 24 vertebrae are permanently movable and thus will never be fused. These 24 vertebrae are the 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (back of chest), and 5 lumbar (loin).
Located between each of these 24 vertebrae are cartilaginous pads called disks. The thickness of the disks determines the length of the spinal column and directly influences the height. There are totally 25 disks, their combined length accounts 25% of your total height.
Since these disks are non-fusible cartilages, they can constantly grow thicker under the stimulation of growth hormone during a lifetime. The thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become. Even each disk grows only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) thicker. Hence, you can still grow 0.25 cm x 25 disks = 6.25 cm (2.5 inches) taller
Cartilages Growth
Even if most of your bones can’t grow much longer, the articular cartilages that connect many bones in your body can still grow thicker . Apart from the disks of your vertebrae, both the distal end of your Femur (bottom of your thigh bone at the knee) and the proximal end of your Tibia (top part of your shin bone at the knee) can still grow 0.5 – 1 inch. This gives your lower body another possible 1 – 2 inches in extra height.
Most of the growth plates in bones in our body are fused at the age 25.After that height increase become too difficult because of the growth plate fusion .If you are under 25 you must try to increase your height
