You definitely sound tall enough for me! Look, Tom Cruise isn't very tall and he has gone a long way. But if it stills bugs you the Guardian reports that there is a procedure in China which involves breaking both legs and having them stretched on a rack. A doctor saws through the flesh and bone below the knee and inserts giant steel spins. These are then connected by eight screws punched horizontally through the ankle and calf to a steel cage surrounding each leg. Once the bones begin to heal, each day the "patient" turns the screws a little, and stretches his (or her) limbs more and more until he has grown to the desired height. It is 18 months of agony and pain. Some patients get to be five inches taller! I won't guarantee it though.

You are done growing, so you can't obtain any new height. However, you can regain some height that is lost from gravity and lifting from the compression of your vertebral discs. You could try stretching exercises like pilates or yoga, or an inversion table. If your height still bothers you wear taller shoes with pointy toes with long pants which will give the illusion of height (according to Clinton and Stacey from What not to Wear). If your height still bothers you, there is bone lengthening surgery which is becoming increasingly popular in Asian cultures. It is a very long process that involves a great deal of time (about 1 year), pain, and money.

Miraculously, I grew up to 174cm when I jumped 300 hundred times consistantly (trying to touch the ceiling of my living room) at the age of 14.

if you know someplace that has a stretcher then you can do that. i know lady who used it and grew a couple inches, I'm not sure if shes still doing it or not but as of last year she was and she had just started going then. so I'm sure she grew more.
