There are 23 intervertebral discs which is 1.61mm total(or .161cm) if every disk gains 0.07mm. So assuming this a human being could gain 0.06 inches of height. Of course, a human being is bigger than a rat so they would likely gain more mm’s than a rat. However, only the lateral side increases and not the centre of the disc so you may not gain all the height.

Also, it’s not clear if there’s a limit on the height that can be gained this way.

Golfing, pitching, batting, throwing, twisting could all cause a torque on the spine to various degrees.

Some stretches would also cause a torque on the spine.

Too much torsion can cause hernias. So it seems as though for now twisting would have only a minor effect on height.

Wouldn't twisting eventually tear away at the cartilage in the spine?

I heard It COULD reduce height.

Could is the keyword.
