Truss rod adjustments don't have to be made by an expert. I'm allergic to experts, and in all things it's very empowering if you're prepared to acquire a new skill yourself.

Make tiny adjustments (less than a quarter turn) and wait two days to allow the wood to respond to the new pressure. When the change in action height becomes apparent, increase or reduce the adjustment as necessary. Remember, you have to give it time.
