23yo male. 5'7 and would naturally like to be a bit taller.

What options do I have to increase my height and how much do I potentially stand to gain?

shin surgery, i think it can potentially give you up to 3 inches

and stretching, chiropractors have a machine which "pops" your back. It's for herniated discs and the like. I have a herniated disc which is how I know. I'venever tried it though, supposedly it gives you an inch or two but compression puts it back into place.

Hate to be that guy, but what if you drew confidence out of other things? Height is one of those things that is very hard to "fix", or extremely painful and likely expensive as well, as in the case of shin surgery.

In my opinion your best bet are tall shoes such as these http://www.tallmenshoes.com/

You gain about 3 inches, which is nice, but it remains to be seen how they look on you, or whether people can easily tell you're walking on stilts.

Fixing your posture is your best bet to be honest unless you want to undergo very painful procedures that may not even work.

5'7 is an okay height in my opinion, you're still taller than the average girl.

fix your posture and then enjoy your easy gains

shorter guys are stronger, it's just how it is, start powerlifting.

besides, 5'7 isn't that fucking short.

Get over it. If your main issue is your height, then you probably have no real issues.

Try some of these. The ones that allow comments have some positive feedback here and there, they say they managed to grow a few inches.
