can you actually thicken spinal disks?

[Deleted member 17723]

or they can just be temporarily decompressed? disks make up like 12-15 cm of our height, with the lumbar ones being the thickest.

so if one could add just a couple mm to each disk (only on lumbar and thoracic) the gains would be massive.

Growth hormone and bone thickening is strong 5 - 10 years long after puberty.

people have been speculating on this for decades. some gains have been reported from inverted sit ups with weights, inversion at various angles, sleep stretching...

basically you need to promote fluid flow by constantly compressing and decompressing your spine to thicken the disks.

it is known that the disks can be increased in height, but how long the results last is unknown.

There are 2 ways spine growth in length:-


1) vertebral body lengthening

2)spinal disc thickening.

Spinal decompression for a long time causes spinal discs to increase in size to fill up the gaps, slowly this leads to permanent thickening of disks if u do spinal exercises for months after u have reached ur goal.


Also, strethcing can cause the spinal vertebral body to increase in length through divison from the epiphyseal rings ,this will lengthen the spinal vertebral body giving u more Height,which will be permanent.
This can easily work if ur plates in spine are open,they mostly close betwene 22-27 , Closing time is different for different people
