Accumulating of chakra can strengthen body of the shinobi and speed up regeneration, so yeah, reduction of the effects of injuries for the short or even long period of time is probably possible. You know, like Yoda in Star Wars. He must use cane to walk properly because of his age, but in case of combat he's using the force to strenghten his body and he can run, jump and slash like yongling. Maybe chakra in narutoverse also can give shinobi similar effect because chakra is a life force tho.
