Most of the techniques to become taller involve stretching and exercise. Knowing the right foods to eat and possibly taking the right supplements can help, too.

The goal here is to strengthen and develop the muscles that support the spine. Done properly, the spine will straighten and lengthen, thereby gaining you a couple precious inches!
Not only will you gain height, you will be getting into better shape and increasing your metabolism. This is a win-win situation. There are also other benefits that take place. If your workout is intense enough, you will be releasing growth hormones. These hormones will also help in increasing your height.
Additionally, there are certain supplements you can take that will help aid in growing taller. Not all of them do, so some research would be in order before purchasing them.
Another suggestion are human growth hormone stimulators. These are combinations of amino acids that force the pituatary gland into making human growth hormone. Your body produces human growth hormone naturally, so there are no negative side effects. The drawback to this method is that it generally only works on people under 30.
One method of gaining height, that is not done in the US, is limb lengthening. This is a surgical procedure with high costs and lots of pain. There are also chances for infection. It will allow you to grow very tall, though the height is gained in the legs only.

Your best chances for growing taller would be to combine both the stretching exercise and taking the right supplements. It may take several months to see an increase in height, but I am sure you will agree it is well worth it!
