A 16 -year -old boy in Southeast China, who underwent six months of height treatment in the body 1.4 centimeters, grew, only to return to his original position within two weeks of finishing treatment, according to the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

The boy, Huang from Xiamen in Fujian County, received treatment between February and August this year for 16,700 yuan ($ 2,350). According to his father, its length rose from 165 cm to 166.4 cm by August, but soon returned to 165 cm as soon as the sessions ended.

Huang’s father filed a complaint to the institution that filed treatment. According to what the employees reported that his son was “greater than being corrected” and offered a complete recovery. The father criticized the foundation, saying that they had to inform him in advance.

According to SCMP, the boy was taken for treatment once every week to two weeks. The procedures included stretching the leg and using medical equipment “to activate” the knees. According to Hanging, the teenager will shrink whenever they miss a session.

Medical experts criticized this practice as non -scientific. Wu Xueyan, an endocrinologist at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, stated that forced expansion cannot mainly increase the person’s height.

“The person is half a centimeter in the morning compared to the afternoon,” said Wu, according to SCMP. “Humans are not poetic. It is unscientific to extend a person for a longer period.”

Wu mentioned that exercise, good sleep, and natural growth factors are the only effective ways to support the development of height, while emphasizing that heredity plays an most important role.

The story extracted widespread reactions online, condemning many condemnation institutions to benefit from parents’ concern. The name of the institution has not been revealed, and it is not clear whether it is eligible to implement such treatments.
