I bought my 14-year-old son a Martin DX1

which has been great except that he leaves it lying around all the time in various locations in the house, and, I think as a result of that, the neck has reverse-bowed (I don't think this is the right term for this, but you know what I mean) to the extent that there is buzzing on the lower frets.
Rather than take it back to Sam Ash, I have tried the fix the problem myself by tuning it step or so too high and letting it sit in the case for a few days. It has helped but it's still not quite back to normal.
Is my fix a terrible idea? Is there anything else I can do?
