The spinous processes of the vertebrae are origins and insertions for various postural muscles. A broken spinous process would likely result in significant pain and muscle aches due to improper alignment of the muscles.

What part of the body does Spina Bifida affect?
It affects the lower back and sometimes the spinal cord.
What would happen if your spine breaks?
Depends on the severity of the breakage. Breaking your back isn't the biggest problem; your spinal column is meant to protect your spinal cord. Problems arise if your spinal column is wrecked enough that it affects the spinal cord (such as a broken spinal column slicing right through the spinal cord. This is why if you shouldn't try to move someone if you think their back is broken, because there's a chance you could do more damage). If the spinal cord is left intact, you could heal without any sort of neurological problems, but it takes quite some time and you have to be very careful while waiting for your back to heal. If the spinal cord is damaged, there is a chance for neurological damage, as well as partial or complete paralysis. The degree of paralysis depends on the location of the damage (roughly: at around the neck, quadriplegia; below, paraplegia).
