Keep in mind that this was a limited, single minded solution to a misadjusted cable. However, cable adjustment changes are often indicators of other problems, some of which can be more serious.
So, go ahead and give it a shot, but consider it only a start. Before riding the bike, you'll want to make sure that there are no other issues, most importantly incorrect adjustments that make it possible for the derailleur to overshoot and get snagged into the wheel.
