How Can Pain In The Shoulder Be Treated?

I fell about a month ago and my right shoulder was hyper-extended (I thinkt). Now it aches when it is relaxed and is very painful ( 8 of 10) if I lift my right arm up above said shoulder. Will it heal over time? or should I look into it more? Thank you for your time, Kathy B
