Dr Shakira Selvananda

At Dr Shakira Selvananda, Arthritis & Rheumatology Clinic, we specialise in uncovering the root cause behind persistent joint pain, unexplained inflammation, and complex autoimmune conditions.

With 18 years of experience and advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound expertise, Dr Shakira combines precision diagnostics with compassionate care — because autoimmune diseases require both science and understanding.

Joint pain is not “just ageing.” Fatigue is not “just stress.” Autoimmune disease is not “in your head.”
