How can I fix a warped/bowing door jamb?

Hello. Do any of you have experience with fixing a warped/bowing door jamb?
This is for one of the exterior doors. This one leads to the laundry room. We hardly use this door because we literally need to pry it open and shut with a crowbar...but it would be nice if it could be fixed.
The jamb is made of some kind of wood composite material.
I'm guessing it's just warped over time since we do have some cold winters here. It seems like it soaked up some water from melting snow/ice from the bottom and expanded over time
I was told that it's possible to just put a few nail or screw through the jamb as a quick fix. I'm just asking for advice before I do anything though since I am clueless.
Thanks in advance for any help.
