  • Dan Cushman, M.D., is board-certified in both Sports Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and specializes in the care of musculoskeletal injuries in both athletes & non-athletes, musculoskeletal ultrasound, electrodiagnostics, and endurance sports-specific injuries with a particular interest in runners, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, and climbers. He cares for all levels of athletes, from the weekend warrior to Olympic athletes and has a niche expertise in nerve disorders of the arms or legs in athletes. His conservative approach revolves around using exercise as medicine and avoiding medications whenever possible.

    He serves as the team physician for the University of Utah Track & Field and Cross-Country teams and is also the team physician for the University of Utah Swimming and Diving teams. He completed his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation in Chicago, IL at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (Northwestern University), where he served as chief resident, then completed a fellowship in Sports Medicine at the University of Utah. Dr. Cushman is active in research and is the director of Non-Operative Sports Medicine Research at the University of Utah, with interests including sports epidemiology and musculoskeletal ultrasound for the treatment/prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.

    Outside of work, he is active in endurance sports and has 3 children.

    As Dr. Cushman does not see all conditions, in order to better identify the appropriate physician, it is recommended:

    For those with spine pain (low back pain, neck pain) to see a spine specialist by clicking .

    For those who require pain medications to manage their chronic pain, the University of Utah pain management center can be found .

    For those with headaches, a University of Utah headache specialist can be found .

    Dr Cushman is the most amazing Doctor. He is so caring and absolutely brilliant in his practice of medicine. He always listens to me intently and works so hard for me to have the best outcome possible. I am so lucky to have found him. The U of U is lucky to have him!

    Dr Cushman was precised, experienced, careful and interested in showing me the process of the test, the results and educating me in what it all meant. He took the time to put me at ease with the nature of the test. I was extremely anxious about the test because of an unpleasant and very painful test I had before. He was very considerate of my fear and concerns. He test was a very tolerable experience and the outcome desired was achieved.
