I want it too, but I'm over the age of 25. Do you think you can make it work for fused bones?

It is theoretically possible to adjust fused bones, but I don't know if it is actually something I could pull off.  I really don't know if I can make it work for people with fused bones.  If we were to attempt to make it work by adjusting your skeletal system, that would probably require a LONG run.  I mean LONG.  It takes 7 years for all the atoms in your skeleton to be replaced naturally.  If we guess that I can trigger bone adjustment, make it work as desired and then that I could somehow trigger lengthening of the bones in your legs - and I have no idea how that would be done if they're fused - we are most likely looking at a very lengthy process for fused bones, IF those things are doable.  I would estimate more than a year to produce noticeable results.

Who knows, maybe the subconscious has some trick up its proverbial sleeve that I don't know about, but my understanding of human anatomy is pretty good, and I'd say that it's realistically iffy at best that I could produce significant, or maybe even noticeable, height increase in people who's growth plates have fused, and if I somehow could, it seems most likely that it would require something between 1 and 3 years to do.

That is the truth as best I know.

DAYUMN! 7 years? Oh well, we'll see how things turn out. Sounds like some down the line stuff for sure though.
