Hi , Welcome to healthcare magic,
Your father had a shoulder dislocation in 2008. After that if he had a pain free interval , then i doubt whether this present problem is in anyway related to that dislocation.
To me this problem appears to be a different problem altogether. It is probably a part of CERVICAL SPONDYLITIS with secondary paraspinal muscle spasm.
TREATMENT:
1) Neck exercises regularly ( about 3 times a day ) with shoulder exercises.
2) Dicloran gel for local application over the neck and shoulder ( don't rub )
3) hot water fomentation.
4) Soft cervical collar.
