They married and opened Sparlin Chiropractic Clinic in 1954. During his 50 plus years of practice he served as President of the Georgia Chiropractic Association, Chairman of the International Knights of the Chiropractic Round Table, President of the Georgia Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and as a Trustee of Logan College.
