Backbreaker
Kill 10 enemies with a stomp attack.
How to unlock the Backbreaker achievement in Dead Space - Definitive Guide
This is best done at the start of Chapter 5. From the Medical Tram Station, head over to Imaging Diagnostics. In the back of the room an enemy attached to the wall will continue to spit out pods that will attack with tentacles. Simple let it spit the pods out and stomp () on each of them until the achievement unlocks.
The achievement only counts enemies that can be killed in a single stomp. These include the pods shown in the video, the small babies that swarm you, and the small squid-like enemies with 4 tentacles. The start of Chapter 5 is the first time you encounter this enemy and is the best spot to simply farm the kills.

Great guide! Am using this same spot to farm weapon kills (Got the ones for the Ripper and the Puls Rifle, now will reload my save and go get the Flamethrower and Contact Beam weapons to farm those)

THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS NOT BROKEN OR BUGGED:
According to Powerpyx, this achievement only counts enemies who die in one hit: Dividers, Guardian Spawn and Swarmers. You can farm this by standing far enough from a guardian and letting him spawn them over and over and stomping them each time.
I did this and it popped at exactly 10 kills without issue, on Hard.

Yes, correct. I got well over ten kills from stomping mainly Slashers, but no achievement. It has to be the one hit kill enemies.

Nice one. Felt like I had finished off more than 10 enemies. Seems it has to be one stomp kill!

Yeah. I think it also counts if you stasis the baby necromorphs that swarm you and stomp on them too.

Unlike what other guides have said it doesn't have to be 1 hit kill enemies. I got this by killing slashers in medical. The problem is 100% of the damage has to be from stomp damage. If you knock off a leg with the plasma cutter and finish off an enemy with a stomp it will not count.

Killed almost a hundred slashers in medical by placing them in stasis and then stomping them to death. No achievement for me so far...

Unless they've updated the game VERY recently that isn't the case. I started NG+ today on Story difficulty with only my Plasma Cutter fully upgraded. One shot to take out the legs and 2-3 stomps if I was close enough before the DOT effect upgrade killed them & the items flew out, while eventually giving me the achievement. Could've done it before Chapter 2 started but they die really quick in Story.

Do not waste your time trying to stomp full-sized necromorphs for this achievement, as you’ll end up taking way too much damage, and there’s a much easier way to get this.
In Chapter 5, when you’re re-exploring Medical, you’ll come across your first Guardian enemy in Imaging Diagnostics. These foes cling to the walls, with tentacles that you need to shoot off. The important part, however, is that they spit out smaller enemies, which are easily dispatched in a single stomp.
When coming across a Guardian, either here or later in the game, you can avoid shooting them, baiting them to fire out the smaller enemies (little blobs with a single tentacle). Run over to each one and stomp them, and repeat this ten times, to easily get the achievement.
