Default Straightening twisted floor joists?

I can see straightening one that is free but how do you do it in this
situation? The subfloor at least if not also the finish floor is
nailed into the tops of those joists. Any straightening has to bend
and pull on those nails.

Not really an issue. If the joists were well nailed they wouldn't have
twisted so badly in the first place.


Good point!


I'll bet when OP tries this he/she will find there's a whole lot more
resistance there than they're expecting...
