For many of us today, one of the defining experiences of childhood was dealing with the nocturnal onset of “growing pains”. To those of us who remember going through this part of our growing up, these pains represented the potential for our bodies to reach their full height. However, for some of us, the tribulations of the pains ended up not matching our expectations for increased “vertical advantage”. In other words, there are those of us who wish we were taller. For those young people who are still growing, but who would like the opportunity to grow 1-2 inches taller, there is an all-natural, scientifically proven program offered by New Hope Acupuncture and Healing Arts. This program offered by New Hope is one based on extensive scientific research, backed by documented trials which exhibit subjects increasing their actual height.
As with every treatment within acupuncture and traditional herbal medicines, the treatment to increase height in still growing adolescents involves a holistic approach. The first step is to use natural herbs to stimulate the human growth hormone and improve sleep function. In 2005, Wisconsin University found that people only grow when they are sleeping at night. The herbs prescribed both stimulate HgH, as well as increasing the quality of sleep itself. This allows for more productive and restful sleep, especially during the most important hours between 10p.m. and 2a.m., which allows for the body to relieve the pressure on the bones and joints. The growth plates around joints are spring-like and they need room to grow, as well as time. A deep, restorative sleep is crucial to the growth process. The next step is proper nutrition and exercise. This program teaches the patient the necessary information on how to eat well. It also teaches them the proper mechanics of posture, standing, and walking, as well as exercises that help stretch and stimulate growth.
The next step used by New Hope is the actual physical stretching of the joints. There is a scientifically proven and tested machine at New Hope that allows for painless and efficient stretching, which helps to create more physical space for the bone to grow. Basically, if there is more room allowed for the growth of the bone, it will grow. Time spent on the machine is part of the process. The last important step in this growth process is the use of electro-stimulation of the joint. The physical stimulation also helps increase bone and joint growth. Both of these machines are scientifically tested and proven to work. When all of these steps are incorporated together, they form a powerful process that actually helps to increase height among growing youths.
