It's not difficult to do yourself, but first check the neck relief and adjust the truss rod if needed.

For Alan's guide to truss-rod adjustments see http://www.ratcliffe.co.za/articles/truss.shtml.

If you feel that this is not something you want to take on yourself then take the guitar to a good guitar tech. A professional setup - neck, bridge, intonation - need not cost mega bucks.
