This method only comes into play when a wolf is severely injured -

For example, Erica after being attacked by the Kanima in Restraint was unable to start healing so Derek broke her arm and the pain of that triggered the process.

Kira was stabbed - painful yes, but not a lasting pain. She needed the continuous pain of the sharp obsidian to trigger the process. Once it started healing her hand - the more serious wounds were also treated.
