How do you adjust a sagging door?

Before I get my car painted, my driver side door is sagging just a little.It looks like the backside( where the striker is) is showing signs of dragging over a period of time.Is there a good way to re-adjust the door to correct the problem?

HELP!

Head over to the HELP! section at any auto zone or murrays. Buy a set of Hinge Pins for the doors. $10 tops. It's a pain in the *** and you may need 1-2 other people to hold up the door while you re-align it. A small spring compressor will come in handy as well.
