Afraid there is nothing you can do to accelerate you growth. Factors (genetics, sex, etc) will have an effect on when you start and stop growing. Men go through peak growing velocity between 15-18 and stop growing around 21. Women start earlier, around 12-15 and finish around age 17. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but, if it happens it happens.

For most of us, the growth plate closes within a couple years of the onset of puberty. All long bone growth takes place at the growth plate, and when the growth plate completely closes you cannot grow any taller.

However, there are surgical procedures that can lengthen some of the long bones. The procedure is extremely expensive and painful.

Anyone who tries to sell you something that will make you grow AFTER the growth plate has closed, is selling snake oil. There are always people who will prey on desperate people but we should talk to doctors and other educated people before throwing money toward crooks and charlatans. If growing taller were easy, we would never see short people.

A few things that help... I was 5'1 at 23. now I am turning 24 in a month and I am 5'6. I grew the most during last summer because I actually started using super-growth height enhancer 6 month course. the following helped me and still help: 1) Drinking at least 2 big glasses of milk a day. 2.) playing Basketball and going swimming. Basketball really helps, and you should also work out your calves and thigh muscles, that helps too. 3)Eat alot, because when I started to get taller I didn't gain a pound but I looked skinnier.

At the age of 23 you have definitely stopped growing naturally so unless there is some medical aid for this you are doomed to get shorter from here on.
