There is nothing that can be done by Scientific Medical practice.

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.
