Abstract
The theory of yin and yang in Chinese medicine signifies everything and can be used to divide everything in the world. The diagnosis and assessment of ankylosing spondylitis in Western medicine can also be divided by yin and yang. The current technologies used in Western medicine for detecting ankylosing spondylitis is summarized, divided, and reasoned with the philosophical views of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine.
