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).

What back injuries can be treated by spinal stenosis surgery?
Spinal stenosis is not back pain, but it can be a cause of back pain. Stenosis implies narrowing of the spinal canal because of thickened pedicles, or hypertrophied ligaments, or a disk bulge, or a tumor, etc. Sometimes this can cause pain if it aggravates pain-generating structures within or around the spinal canal.

What is spinal spenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can lead to pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can occur due to age-related changes, such as arthritis, herniated discs, or thickened ligaments. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs, and it often affects the lower back and neck. Treatment options vary from physical therapy and medication to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition.
What happens to a dog with a broken back?
This depends on what you mean by "broken back". A complete severing of the spinal cord and dislocation of the bony spinal column results in total paralysis from the level of the break to the tail, often with urinary and fecal incontinence (peeing and pooping without control). While this can be managed by a dedicated owner, humane euthanasia is a reasonable alternative depending on the household, where exactly the break was and what problems are developing as a result of it. In contrast, a fracture of a lateral or dorsal spinous process can be managed conservatively with pain control and cage rest - the dog should heal on its own within 6 months and be relatively normal afterwards. However, the most common back problem in dogs actually isn't a broken back - it's a herniated disk that is compressing the spinal cord and causing significant pain. This is particularly common among short long dogs, such as Corgis and Dachshunds. Depending on the location, type and degree of compression, there are several methods to treating or managing the disk and your should talk to your vet about the options.
