If the neck relief is correct and the saddle is very low then you may (probably) need the neck to be reset. Adjusting the truss rod will not help the action if the nut and saddle are too low. The truss rod only lessens or increase the amount of bow in the neck. Usually from the nut to the 3rd or 7th fret.

Again, frets.com is a good resource to help one learn about how to assess proper neck relief, setup, neck angle, nut and saddle issues.
