It can be because of a number of reasons as there are many structures present in the shoulder and can get injured in any accident. It used to get convert in a frozen shoulder in such long period of time. So long term treatment is required.
Consult a physiotherapist.. Ultrasonic therapy+IFT +Heating therapy +exercises(stretching as well as strengthening) will be helpful.
