does acupuncture work for laceration?

50 old female patient recently had an injury to her left hand. dorsal side of her left hand was hit by a door resulting in a 1" x 2" laceration. It causes burning pain which is worse at night and when her hand is down (lower than her heart level)

tx: sp 3 + LI 11- sj 5-
she felt better for that moment but this tx did not really improve her condition much.

2nd visit: sp3 + lu 9 + lu 10 - ht 8 - tonify lung
this tx promoted healing a lot and laceration improved by about 50% (in a few days)
