There is nothing that can be done by Scientific Medical practice. However you will find many quacks giving full page advertisement in newspaper who will make tall claims about height gain etc.

 An adult cannot increase their height after the growth plates close. However there are plenty of ways a person can improve their posture to look taller. Practice a good posture. Strengthen the core muscles. Plank: Keeping abdominal muscles engaged, hold the position at the top of a push-up. Superman: Laying on the stomach, extend the arms, legs, and head off the floor and hold. Abdominal crunch: Laying on the back with knees bent and feet on the floor, raise the head and shoulders using the core muscles.
